I think it is funny when people think the phrase of "damn yankee" still refers to a differing opinion of politics. This Phrase, while still refering mostly to people of the northern states, is used more to the fact that they still want to change our way of life. Yes we still talk slow down here but we like it that way. We like taking time to smell the roses or watch an interesting cloud formation. We don't have to run everywhere at mach 5.
I think a bumper sticker I saw explains it well " I don't care how you did it up north" I also find it interesting that more people are moving south than the other way around. There must be a reason for that.
We say please and thankyou, we hold the door for a lady and we don't wear hats to the table or indoors for that matter. Before I get drug accross the coals for my opinions I must tell Ya'll that I was born in Philla.Pa. and I moved to Va. 25years ago and I didn't leave anything in Pa. Yes some folks here are still fighting the civil war but for diff. reasons and unless you have been here for a while you just can't understand why.JMHO
